Trump Targets Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship – But There’s A Catch

President Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to renew his long-running feud with comedian Rosie O’Donnell — this time suggesting he’s “giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship,” calling her “not a Great American” and “incapable of being so.”

Born in Commack, New York, O’Donnell moved to Ireland earlier this year and is reportedly seeking Irish citizenship. She would keep her U.S. citizenship, making her a dual national.

There’s just one hitch: Presidents can’t revoke citizenship. The 14th Amendment protects anyone born on American soil, and legal scholars from across the spectrum agree that no U.S. president has the power to override that.

Still, Trump didn’t stop there. He branded O’Donnell a “threat to humanity” and reposted a doctored, unflattering photo of her — complete with digitally added facial hair on a distorted face — escalating the attack with visuals. (RELATED: Rosie O’Donnell Issues Humiliating Apology To MAGA)

O’Donnell responded with sarcasm. Quoting Succession, the HBO drama about a manipulative media empire, she compared Trump to the show’s malevolent patriarch and dismissed his post as a calculated distraction.

She went on to claim that Trump’s “reckoning” will come not from critics like her, but from survivors of Jeffrey Epstein — a reference designed to stir controversy, though it lacked specifics or evidence.

The New York Post continues:

In March, when a reporter asked the Irish prime minister during a visit to the White House why he would allow O’Donnell to move to Ireland, Trump jumped in and said he was better off not knowing who she was.

“Do you know who she is? You’re better off not knowing,” Trump said at the time.

Trump’s feud with O’Donnell has spanned nearly two decades, sparked by O’Donnell criticizing him on “The View” in 2006 about his decision to be lenient toward a Miss USA winner who had been accused of drug use and other controversies.

In 2015, during a Republican primary debate, a moderator asked Trump about his past use of derogatory terms to describe women.

“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump quipped.

In an interview with People magazine, O’Donnell said she would only return to America “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights.”
